This invention appertains to new and useful improvements in a support,and more particularly to a novel form of pants hanger.

The principal object of the present invention 5 is to provide hangermeans for pants whereby pants can be hung by the belt loops in a mannerwhich will eliminate or prevent the marks usually noticeable which nowoccur in the use of conventional hangers when the trousers are hung overa bar` at the knees or by a clamp at the culis.

Another important object of the invention is to provide a hanger whichis adjustable to different size pants and which in use will not besusceptible to the ready development of defects.

Further objects of the invention are to provide a hangerA from whichtrousers can be removed selectively without affecting` the position ofothers on the hanger and a hanger which is t, constructed in such amanner that it can be secured to the inside of a closet door, thusutilizing space which is normally not utilized.

An additional valuable feature is that trousers can be hung on thishanger without removing objects from the pockets thereof.

These and various other important objects and advantages of theinvention will become apparent to the reader of the followingspecification.

In the drawings:-

Figure 1 represents a front elevational view of the entire hanger.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the hanger.

Figure 3 is a sectional view taken substantially on the line 3-3 ofFigure 1.

Figure 4 is a sectional View substantially on line 4--4 of Figure 1.

Figure 5 is a fragmentary top plan View of one of the arms.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, itwill be seen that numeral 5 represents an elongated L-shaped andhorizontally disposed Wall member which is provided with side and endwalls 6 which space the front away from the supporting wall l. Thedepending portion A of the wall member 5 is provided with three shorthorizontally disposed slots 8, while the distant end of the horizontalportion b of the member 5 is provided with elongated slots 9-I0.Suitable screws or the like II are 50 disposed through the ends of themember 5.

For supporting pants by their belt loops, arm

structures generally referred to by numerals I2-I3 are employed. The armstructure I3 consists oi the elongated member Ill provided with 55 hookmembers I5 depending therefrom at equal 1936, Serial No. 87,573

longitudinally spaced intervals. One end of the elongated member I4 isturned up as at I6, while its opposite end is provided with a dependingplate formation I'I also having a hook I5 thereon. The plate formationI1 is provided with lateral and apertured ears I8 and at its upperportion is provided with -a longitudinal offset and upwardly extendinglug I9 for engagement against the back side of the member 5, after ithas been inserted through one of the slots 8. With the lug I engagedwith the plate 5 in this manner and the plate formation 8 being restingagainst the front of the member 5, the arm I3 is supported in thehorizontal position suggested in Figure 4.

The arm I2 is constructed in substantially the same manner, the samehaving a lug lilawhich is engaged with the back side of the plate afterhaving been disposed through slot 9.

As suggested in Figure 1 by broken lines, the trousers are hung up bydisposing the belt loop in the center on the back of the trousers over ahook member I 5 on arm I2 and the two belt loops on the front of thetrousers and in line with the front creases in the legs of the trousersover members I5 on arm I3. The arm I2 can be adjusted to any extentdesired depending upon the waist measurement of the pants.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specificterms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, sizeand materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit andscope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the claimed as new is:-

1. A hanger for hanging pants by their belt loops comprising anelongated horizontal member having a depending leg at one end thereof,said leg having a plurality of vertically spaced openings therein, ahanger member having a lug disposed through one of the openings forholding the hanger member to the leg, and a hanger member mounted on theopposite end of the horizontal member, and a lug and slot connectionbetween the last-mentioned hanger member and the horizontal memberwhereby thehanger member can be adjusted longitudinally on thehorizontal member.
